The main school is no longer heated by oil and we hope to be able to display gas usage from this area on your dashboard soon.

Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity usage

Review progress

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 39 kW in the winter to 21 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £2,900 annually.

Last year peak electricity consumption was 160 kW. The best performing schools of a similar size have a peak consumption of 160 kW. Keep switching off to save even more electricity!
